The best way to keep from peeling is to not get burned. You burned the skin in those areas and it died. Use sun screen prior to getting in the sun and moisturizer after.

You need it to peel because that's the burnt skin that's trying to come off. It's unhealthy to keep it on your skin, let it flake off. In fact, try scraping it off with a pumice stone. If you let the skin stay on, then the mutated skin cells could metasize and skin cancer can be next. Just use aloe vera to help with the burn.

one word SUNSCREEN!

you need to wear sun block. Trust me, it's totally normal. The outside layer have been burned and our falling off for the new skin to come to the surface. It will go away eventually. But don't keep peeling your skin because if you keep peeling it it's going to leave a scar or it will start hurting reeally bad.

next time you go sunbathing, apply more suncream! but all you can do now to help your skin is to apply lots of body-lotion, moisterizer etc. hope this helps :)

it is a symtome of a first degree burn (sunburn) the skin dries out and the outer layer which is already a dead layer forms another dry dead layr underneath. this causes the most outer dead layr to peel off. do not worry this is perfectly normal. to keep this from happening during the day when you are around people, use aloe. avoid rubbing it or messing with it.
